| Summary
[top]
|
Large networks of interconnected dynamical systems are becoming
prevalent in modern technological applications, as exemplified by
the development of cross-directional control systems for paper
machines, power distribution systems, automated highways, formations
of unmanned aerial vehicles, and arrays of micro-cantilevers for
massively parallel data storage, to name just a few. These
applications are also of theoretical interest because they pose new
challenges for analysis and control design. The following points, in
particular, need to be addressed:
-
Controllers are typically required to be spatially
localized, often adopting the topology of the plant.
-
Analysis/design method should be tractable irrespective of
the size of the system.
-
Network failures and lossy communication channels impose stringent
robustness and redundancy requirements.
The workshop will provide a thorough coverage of some of the recent
results in this area.
